With the inclusion of paging for tagged-with-* files (revision 140), Hua is now feature complete. There's still work to do: for example, I want to simplify some of the code and I'm very interested in how well Hua performs with a large number of articles. But, for now, the tool does everything I want it to do while retaining the flexibility and simplicity I envisioned from the beginning.

Revision 99 of Hua supports paging. The number of entries appearing on the index page(s) is controlled using the entries_pp variable in the config file. Index file(s) are named using the index_file config variable, as before. Pages following the first are named *-2.html, *-3.html, etc.
I'm considering implementing this for the tagged-with files as well.

The Indiegogo campaign for my book, The Horror of Mistvale Hall, begins today! If it's fully funded, I'll be able to bring a proper editor and cover artist on board. The campaign runs until the end of April, and I'm very curious to see how well it does.

As of revision 63, released on Feb 10, 2024, Hua (my PowerShell-based static content generator) supports meta-information (description, keywords, and author) for individual articles. Meta information is maintained in a separate delimited file. Meta-info isn't required (but is certainly desirable) and Hua will provide defaults (the 000000 record in the meta database) if an individual article isn't represented in the file.
Initially, I considered simply using article tags for keywords. But I believe keywords to be finer-grained than tags and should therefore be separated. There will be, no doubt, some common entries in both lists.
